Top Picks Analysis: The Eagles quickly went about defining the up-tempo Chip
Kelly offense by drafting Johnson, the athletic Oklahoma left tackle in the
first round as well as Stanford movement tight end Ertz in the second. The
Eagles went through their first OTAs under Kelly last week and one thing was
abundantly clear, the former Oregon mentor is going to push things and play
basketball on turf in Philly. That means conditioning and athleticism are
going to be paramount, and Johnson, who can run a faster 40-yard dash and
leaps higher than some wide receivers, is a good fit in the City of Brotherly
Love. Ertz, meanwhile, is one of the new breed of tight ends who can create
mismatches but isn't all that strong as an in-line blocker. Run-stuffer Logan
is a hard-working two-down player.

Best Value Pick: Some thought Barkley was the most NFL-ready quarterback
throughout this process, but a perceived lack of arm strength sent what was
once a top-five prospect tumbling to the first pick in the fourth round. For
some, anticipation and accuracy are a lot more important in today's NFL than
being able to throw the ball 70 yards down the field. Barkley remains a better
pro prospect than the only quarterback taken in Thursday's first round --
Florida State's E.J. Manuel.

Questionable Calls: There were solid decisions throughout but if you want to
get picky, Johnson was not the fourth best prospect in this draft. That said,
it's not like Philadelphia could have moved down and still got him, Detroit
would have sprinted to the podium at No. 5.

Summary: Call it the Oklahoma sandwich for Philly. They started by taking the
Sooners' Johnson with the No. 4 overall pick and finished by taking OU
defensive end David King with No. 239. It's the stuff in between that will
make the difference, however. Ertz is a perfect fit for what Kelly wants to do
offensively while, Logan needs to push the overrated Isaac Sopoaga at nose
tackle. Getting potential contributors on the edge (Utah's Kruger) and corner
(Oregon State's Poyer) late in the draft ups the grade.
